Peers 'N’Pubs is back for 2021!

Join us to hear Dr. David Robert Grimes tell us, and his brother Stephen, more about his soon to be published paper on medical conspiracy theories.

As part of this event, we will be raising money for the relief effort in Texas following the unprecedented winter storms that hit the state last week. For more information on where your donation will be going, check out this link.
